SE Nebraska Group Buy Round 2

[pbreitkreutz]

Anyone else in for a half-bag of white wheat? I was thinking about that when I put in my initial order this morning.

 

[Chriso]

Oh well if you're already getting some of it PB, then yeah, I'll take the other half of a bag of white wheat from your 1/2 order - that fixes the logistics issue, as we're quite near by each other.

I will get back to you on any other grains I want to add.... hm............... *counts his pennies*

 

[tre9er]

Tre I'm confused...

Are we talking about same thing? I was referring to the Omaha people getting together to make the pick-up from you in Lincoln, just like last time.

I was talking abouta guy who's in Tarkio, MO (clear east of here). I'm an idiot for mixing them up.

 

[tre9er]

I have the White Wheat split between PB and ChrisO, but I know BigRedHopHead wants some, too. Anyone else want a half bag of WW? Prefer not to have to split it into thirds but I will.

 

[tre9er]

With freokw's tentative 3 bag order shipping is down to $0.12/lb, or just over $6 a bag. :rockin:

 

[gbarnes]

I was talking about RedHop guy, who's in Tarkio, MO (clear east of here)

Gotcha. I saw his signature says Omaha, so figured that was correct.

 

[tre9er]

Gotcha. I saw his signature says Omaha, so figured that was correct.

I'm probably totally confused. Now I see that, and he had said something about driving and fuel cost...I know there WAS a guy from MO that wanted to get in...I'm sure I've mixed the two up.

Carry on!

I would be in for splitting a bag of white wheat if there is still a bag to split.

Also I will get you my contact info sent once I figure out which other stuff I want.

 

[gladril]

Count me in for one bag of Maris Otter.

OK, so Stovetop and BigRedHopHead are splitting 50# of WW, and ChrisO and PB are splitting another.

 

[tre9er]

Shipping: we're under $6 a bag for 50# bags and just over $6 for 55# bags. Will continue to go down with more bags.

Please get me your full name and email address if you haven't already done so!

Guys:

Just confirmed that the $135 freight charge is for one pallet, which is about 35 bags. So if we start getting to that point, we'll have to cut off this deal and place the order (unless we think we're going to get like 40-50 bags total). Otherwise we'd be splitting $270 over, say, 36 bags as opposed to $135 over say 30. What I'd probably do is start a new buy when we get to that point, that way it wouldn't affect our shipping prices and that one can fill up however long it takes.

 

[Stovetop535]

should have a pm from me with contact and my order.

 

[BigRedHopHead]

OK, so Stovetop and BigRedHopHead are splitting 50# of WW, and ChrisO and PB are splitting another.

Sweet! thanks Stovetop!

anyone else want to split some Munich 10L or Flaked wheat?? Looking for someone to split up these with.

 

[tre9er]

I might split the flaked wheat, esp if its 3 ways

 

[BigRedHopHead]

I might split the flaked wheat, esp if its 3 ways

If no one else wants any flaked wheat I will take 2/3 of it and you can have 1/3. I'm fine with that. So put it on the order.

 

[bbrim]

I would take half a bag of munich 10.

 

[BigRedHopHead]

I would take half a bag of munich 10.

Great!! Then bbrim and I will split a bag of Munich 10L. Put that on the order please, and thank you.

 

[Stovetop535]

I would take 1/3 of the flaked wheat if you guys still want to split it.

 

[BigRedHopHead]

Deal! split 3 ways between you, me, and Tre.

 

[showdown496]

pm'ed! Thanks Again!

 

[tre9er]

Have I ever mentioned that splits make group buys difficult

You guys are going to have to review your orders carefully when this is sewn-up, because I'm trying to cross reference usernames, real names, emails, split bags, etc. and I hope to hell I got it all (pretty confident, though)!

 

[tre9er]

We have 31 bags of various sizes, over 1500lbs, and shipping is down to $0.09/lb. We're nearing full capacity for a single pallet, so we should probably consider ending this soon. Anyone still interested, I'll start another buy after this one is over.

 

[Vlaktor]

Put me down for 2-row and Maris Otter please.

 

[tre9er]

Guys I'm putting a pause on this effective immediately. I need to get one more order finalized and then take stock as I'm 99.9% sure we're at the 35 bag limit right now. I want to get the info to the vendor and ensure we're still only paying one freight charge of $135 so that we get the best shipping price per pound that we can get. Once I can confirm that, we'll review the orders and place the group buy.

Anyone looking to get in can express interest here, but as of now let's proceed under the assumption that we're full. I will start another buy once we get this one finished.

If you posted, PM'd, or emailed me your order prior to this post, you're good to go and we'll review your order as early as tomorrow.

FYI if the order stays, 2-row will end up at $35.90/bag...for me that's a $24.10 savings over LHBS, or 59.8% of the cost.

 

[davebstock]

I would like to get 1-2 bags of 2 row. Let me know if room frees up to get in on the order. That would be 1 pale malt and 1 maris otter if able to get in.

 

[tre9er]

I just got an order for NINE bags...we may need to see if we can organize two buys. Anyone who's not sure they're ready yet or otherwise, let me know. We are around 6 bags over, but if it keeps going there's plenty for another buy

 

[tre9er]

Please go to the link below and verify your order. Now is the time to decide if you need to make changes. I'm going to see if we can still get this all on one pallet/pay one freight charge.

[tre9er]

Hey guys, I wanted to gauge interest on a ball-lock cornie keg group buy, too. We can get a pallet of them freighted to my work for what would *probably* work out to be like $35 per keg. I need 2 or 3 but cheapest I've gotten them before was $91 shipped for two. I'd love to save $20+.

 

[gbarnes]

I'd be interested in a couple of kegs.

My order looks great. Thanks Tre.
